When entering a job through PJ, we have the options of putting information into the fields "Type" and "Market Type." I have 2 ideas below, could you please point me in the correct direction?
Idea 1: Are these fields possible to make drop-down boxes? I tried going to Common Tasks > File > Company Settings > Custom Descriptions, but the boxes for Type and Market Type are grayed out. Are these changeable to drop-down?
Idea 2: Creating Custom Fields, that are a drop-down style box. My main concern with this is when upgrading Sage would it overwrite those boxes, or do I need to do anything different to back them up? Also, is this considered good practice as the Type and Market Type are already given to fill out? I don't want to create custom fields if the option is already there to do what I need.
I ask this because we would like to be able to run reports to track the kind of jobs we have bid, and were unsuccessful at, as well as those we did get. I am afraid that if I just use the default boxes that we will be plagued by incorrect spelling and the reports will not filter out correctly because of the misspellings.
